EFFECTS OF ANTI- TUBERCULOSIS TREATMENT ON THE FUNCTIONAL STATUS OF THE THYROID GLAND

Аннотация

Data on the functional state of the thyroid gland in patients with tuberculosis, as well as on the effect of anti-tuberculosis measures on the function of the thyroid gland, are poorly studied and contradictory. The state of the thyroid gland has not been studied in connection with long-term treatment, especially in patients with premorbid thyroid dysfunction. The aim of the study was to study the functional status of the thyroid gland in patients diagnosed with degenerative forms of respiratory tuberculosis before and after the intensive treatment phase of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. Patients treated at the Samarkand Regional Center for Tuberculosis and Pulmonology, who were diagnosed for the first time with degenerative forms of pulmonary tuberculosis, were examined. The results suggest that synthetic analogues of thyroid hormones may serve as a basis for concomitant use with anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. This allows patients to achieve successful results in TB treatment interventions.
